dsh-sideband

In the workflow of DeepSeek Harness, there often comes a moment when the source agent is actively processing a request, but you need to pass relevant context to another session or team room without interrupting the ongoing conversation. Waiting for the agent to finish can be inefficient, while interrupting might lose valuable progress. This is the exact pain point that dsh-sideband addresses with its asynchronous context relay mechanism.

dsh-sideband enables users to capture a bounded context capsule from the current session and deliver it asynchronously to a destination session or an Agent Team Room. The snapshot freezes the visible user and model text at the command boundary, ensuring that the context is preserved accurately. A separate, tool-free LLM call then summarizes the captured transcript, isolating it from the source model's execution. This allows the relay to happen in the background, returning a job ID immediately so the original conversation can continue uninterrupted.

The plugin offers flexible delivery options: 'quiet' mode queues context for the destination's next turn without waking it, while 'wakeup' mode intentionally schedules a turn, consuming model quota if needed. Each capsule carries provenance information, including job ID, source, timestamps, and scope, ensuring transparency and traceability. It's not about mirroring transcripts or hidden memory, but about selectively transferring meaningful context across visible boundaries.

dsh-sideband is ideal for developers and AI agents using DeepSeek Harness who need seamless context handoff between sessions or team collaborations. Whether you're coordinating multi-agent workflows, sharing insights without breaking focus, or managing team rooms, this plugin provides a native UI experience that integrates smoothly with DSH's command system, avoiding any takeover of the web interface.
